Hire researchers, bug fixers, and friends

Friends can work as their own avatars. Researchers make research points and bug fixers clear launch defects, and both need a desk you can pay for.

Hire researchers, bug fixers, and friends

Friends can work as their own avatars. Researchers make research points and bug fixers clear launch defects, and both need a desk you can pay for.

Who can work for you

The developer says you hire a team, and that your Roblox friends show up as candidates and work in the office as their real avatars. Session guides add two role names the listing itself does not print: Researcher and Bug Fixer.

Role What session guides say they do
Researcher Sits at a desk and generates research points. Early tests mention about 6 RP a day before you hire anyone. Training raises output
Bug Fixer Clears defects during development. A stubborn bug can also be cleared by spending research points. Launch after the bug list is clear if you care about the review

Candidates show a role, a star rating, and a monthly wage. Hire pays the first month up front. Higher stars finish work faster and cost more each month. Training costs in early tests were described as reaching about $8,000 as levels rise. Those wage and training figures are session reports.

Desks come first

You cannot hire onto a missing workstation. Place a desk and a chair, then open the staff menu. The garage is reported to hold two desks. Auto-Hire, 25 Robux, says empty desks fill themselves every month. Star Recruiter, 49 Robux, says every candidate batch includes a 3-star or higher expert, plus one reroll a month.

Better desks, chairs, computers, plants, and lights are described as raising work speed or comfort. When you hit a placement limit, replace a weak piece instead of filling the room with items that do nothing.

When to hire

Hand the first phone to whoever you already have, launch it, and read the sales. A single cheap researcher is the hire most guides make first, because research otherwise sits idle. Add a bug fixer before a complex launch. Do not fill every desk before the first product is profitable. Monthly wages continue while you speed up time.

Friends who are not on your Roblox friend list are not described as the automatic roster. The passes do not say wages stop.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Build a Phone Empire?

It is a free Roblox simulation tycoon by DEVTEC STUDIOS. You start in a garage in 2007, design devices, set a price, hand them to your team, launch with marketing, and read critic reviews and live sales. The company saves automatically.

Which devices can I unlock?

Phones are the starting product. Year-by-year research unlocks tablets, smartwatches, earbuds, foldables, and laptops. The listing does not publish the cash or research-point cost of each year.

Are there working codes?

October 2026 player reports list CEO, WELCOME, and LAPTOPS, entered from Store then Codes. Reward amounts do not match across those reports, and the official description does not print the strings. Redeem them once and treat a rejection as expired or already used.

Where does it run, and does it save?

The developer says it plays on phone, tablet, and PC. Public servers hold 8 players. The company saves automatically. A manual save button is not described.

What is the Legacy bonus?

You sell the company and start again with a permanent Legacy bonus. The listing does not publish the bonus size, a required company value, or a cap on repeated sales.

Do I need a game pass?

The catalog lists ten passes from 25 to 449 Robux. None is required to design a phone, hire a friend, or sell the company. Open the bundle prompt before you buy Complete Bundle, because its catalog description is empty.
